And finally I know the ending to one of my favorite childhood series! There were so many twists and turns in this story and a lot of time lines to keep straight.

I have mixed feelings about Redeemed. Making a new character the protagonist of the final book in the series was a bold choice, but it was interesting to see from Jordan’s POV. I do think it was valuable to see how he adjusted from his perspective instead of Jonah’s, but that doesn’t mean I still didn’t miss Jonah and Katherine while reading this. Another thing that made this mixed for me was more explaining than action and a departure from revisiting historical time periods which was a big draw for me.

Despite those feelings, this was a nice wrap up to the series! All the loose ends were tied and it feels like a satisfying conclusion. Definitely not my most loved book in this series, but not a bad way to end it either.
